How to Book AVA Plastic Surgery in Korea: LINE, WeChat and a Seoul Consultation Checklist
Planning an eyelid, nose or lifting consultation during a Seoul trip can leave you with practical questions: which account should you contact, can you communicate in your language, and should you book flights first? I would start by organizing the contact details and travel constraints so the clinic can understand the request in one conversation.
AVA Plastic Surgery in Korea can be contacted through LINE, WeChat, telephone, online inquiries or KakaoTalk via its website. Surgical consultations require an appointment. After sending an inquiry, wait for the clinic to confirm the date, time and visit arrangements. The information below was checked on September 16, 2026; reconfirm contact details and availability when booking.
1. Choose a contact channel
| Channel | Account or details | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| LINE | @370vztxw | State your preferred language and consultation request |
| Avaps_global | Check the exact account and clinic identity before sharing personal information | |
| Telephone | +82-2-545-1882 | Within Korea, dial 02-545-1882; ask which languages are available |
| Online inquiry / KakaoTalk | Use the corresponding functions on AVA’s website | Leave contact details and wait for staff to confirm a time |
Use one main conversation to keep the arrangements together and avoid duplicate bookings. To reschedule, include your name and original appointment date in that conversation and request confirmation of the change. A translated webpage or a Chinese-language contact account does not establish that an on-site interpreter is available at every appointment. Check this separately.
2. Move from inquiry to confirmation in four steps
Step one: explain your priorities. Describe the area you want assessed, any previous surgery or injections, preferred consultation dates and how long you can stay in Korea. If you are undecided about a procedure, describe the concern without choosing a surgery in advance.
Step two: provide relevant information. If photographs are requested, verify the recipient and intended use before providing images without heavy editing. Previous procedure dates, implant information, medications and allergies can be shared with the clinical team after verification. Do not discontinue medication on your own to fit a travel schedule.
Step three: separate the consultation from surgery. Ask about appointment availability, expected consultation time, Chinese or English interpretation, and whether the booking is for consultation only. An initial photo discussion does not replace an in-person assessment or establish that same-day surgery is possible.
Step four: keep written confirmation. Save the confirmed name, date, Korean local time, location, charges and rescheduling arrangements. Korea is one hour ahead of Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. Specify “Korea time” when discussing an appointment across time zones.
You can write: “Hello, I would like to book a consultation at AVA Plastic Surgery about ____. My previous related treatments are ____. I can visit on ____ and expect to stay in Korea for ____ days. I need Chinese/English assistance. Could you confirm available times, the consultation fee and the time I may need to allow for follow-up visits?”
3. Prepare questions for a consultation with Dr. Kim Seungsoo
AVA’s director is Dr. Kim Seungsoo , whose clinical areas include facelifts, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty. Ask about his consultation schedule and prepare questions around your main concern.
For facial laxity: ask about assessment for a facelift or mini lift. Request an explanation of the treatment area, incision placement, potential scarring, recovery arrangements and alternatives.
For eyelid shape or appearance: discuss eyelid design, assessment of eyelid lifting function or changes after previous surgery. Explain the features you wish to preserve rather than relying solely on another person’s photograph.
For rhinoplasty or revision: provide previous implant details and surgical records, then ask about feasible approaches, materials and aftercare. Look beyond procedure names and ask how the doctor explains suitability, risks and trade-offs.
A useful consultation should address three things: your individual circumstances, design options and limitations, and follow-up care. These are more useful decision points than promotional photographs or claims about booking popularity.
4. Ask about costs and deposits separately
Request a quote for the actual eyelid, nose or facelift plan; skin treatment prices are not surgery prices. Ask whether the proposed total includes the procedure, anesthesia, tests, medication, interpretation, follow-up and taxes.
If you are also asking about skin treatments, the following figures provide a budgeting reference. These amounts are from AVA’s discounted skin treatment listings and exclude 10% VAT . Confirm eligibility and current charges. They are not quotes for surgery.
| Skin treatment | Specification | Reference price before VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Ulthera | 100 shots | ₩400,000 |
| Hydrating skin injection | 4 cc | ₩120,000 |
| Rejuran + Juvelook Skin | 2 cc + 4 cc; listed as a sedation plan | ₩490,000 |
For example, ₩400,000 becomes ₩440,000 after adding only 10% VAT; any additional charges must still be included. For a sedation plan, ask about anesthesia assessment, monitoring and escort requirements. Do not assume it follows the same arrangements as an ordinary injection appointment. Costs also depend on the brand, coverage, shot count, treatment site and plan.
I would explain your budget and recovery allowance early, then ask the doctor to prioritize or stage the plan. If a deposit is required, obtain written terms covering the amount, recipient, whether it counts toward the bill, cancellation, rescheduling and what happens if the consultation finds treatment unsuitable. Do not assume it is either refundable or non-refundable.
5. Getting to Sinsa and planning your stay
AVA Plastic Surgery is at 4F, Inseong Building, 603 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul , near Sinsa Station Exit 4 on Line 3 and the Shinbundang Line. Save the Korean address: “서울 서초구 강남대로 603 인성빌딩 4층”.
Regular hours are 10:00–19:00 on weekdays and 10:00–17:00 on Saturdays , with Sunday closure, all in Korean local time. Confirm holidays and schedule changes separately. Opening hours do not mean walk-in consultations are available.
For a short weekend visit: consider making consultation the main purpose. If surgery is being considered, ask about tests, wound care, suture removal and follow-up before choosing your length of stay. For a mother-and-daughter or friends’ trip: request nearby appointments, but obtain separate assessments and quotes. If someone needs an escort, avoid scheduling all companions for treatment at the same time. From Myeongdong, Hongdae or Incheon Airport: check current routes to Sinsa Station and allow for transfers, immigration and delays.
Confirm the doctor’s schedule and aftercare arrangements before booking flights or accommodation that are difficult to change. Suture removal does not mean all swelling has settled or that everyone is ready to fly. The doctor should assess the individual situation. Surgery can involve bleeding, infection, scarring and asymmetry; discuss these risks during consultation.
6. Frequently asked questions
Can I contact AVA if I do not speak Korean?
Start by explaining your language needs through LINE or WeChat. Confirm interpreter availability, scope and any separate charge for your appointment.
How far in advance should I book?
There is no single lead time for every procedure. Ask once you have possible travel dates, allowing for tests and follow-up if surgery is considered.
Does adding the account and sending photos secure an appointment?
No. Obtain confirmation of the date, time and type of visit. An automated reply or preliminary quote does not confirm the schedule.
Must I proceed with surgery after consultation?
You can learn about the plan before deciding. Ask about consultation fees and deposit terms beforehand. If the limitations or recovery arrangements do not suit you, discuss postponing.
To book AVA Plastic Surgery in Korea , confirm the contact channel, explain your needs, secure a consultation time, review the costs and arrange follow-up. Clarifying these points before deciding on travel and treatment makes the itinerary and budget easier to manage.
